Christmas for us is VERY busy, but so full of family, fun, love, laughter and memories that we wouldn't have it any other way. =) This Christmas was a little extra special because it was Cole's FIRST Christmas!
Unfortunately my baby Cole was so sick! He had a horrible cough and cold that hit him Christmas Eve night and a fever of 103; but other than him not being his normal happy self you would never know he was so sick. He is an amazing little guy.
Christmas #1: Christmas Eve with my Father, grandmother and great Aunt.
My brother and his wife hosted Christmas Eve this year. Something new for our family as we usually celebrate it in Peabody at my grandmothers house. I have to admit it was a little sad not being in Peabody but my brother and his family did a wonderful job.
Christmas #2: Our Home!!!
Of course Santa came to our house....I have 3 amazing babies =)
He left their gifts in little piles for them...
Cole being oh so sick was the first one up at 4:30. I have to say though I was up hanging out in my bed listening for the pitter patter of toddler feet running out to see what Santa brought for them, so it wasn't so bad. He got to see his first ever gifts from Santa!
Next up was Kyle at 5am =).
He was so excited to see Santa ate the cookies we baked =)
and he tore through his pile of stuff before I could stop him and have him wait for Daddy and Hailey.
FINALLY at 5:45ish Hailey joined us....
She was so so so excited to see Santa brought her the Ariel dress. She had to put it on right away!
Then it was time to open our gifts from under the tree, from friends, neighbors and each other.
Cole was safe here:
Because no where else in the room really was......
Holy presents!!!!
After opening a few toys, straightening up the best we could, tubbie and showers it was off to...
Christmas #3: My mothers house.
It was a little different this year. My mom, her husband, sisters and brother Pip all exchanged and opened their gifts before we got there; and my brother Chris and his family were not there at all. So it was the DeVincent family show....ripping open gifts and them all watching us!! A little weird but how can I complain =)
Christmas #4 : Jay's parents
Christmas here was a momentous occasion it was Cole and April's (my niece) FIRST Christmas.
We had a wonderful Christmas. Really we had 4 amazing Christmases. Everyone was so thoughtful and way too generous. We literally got so much stuff that I do NOT know what to do with it all! It is Crazy! Here we are a week later and I am STILL trying to figure out where to put things.
We are so loved and so blessed, I am so grateful for our family, and friends. Thank you all for loving us, caring for us, and for being so generous!
Merry Christmas!!
